Volume 1: The Lonely Boat Out of the Sunrise Chapter 16: Cangzhou City
"Ah......h
Jiang Xiaobai's miserable voice came, from far to near, the whole person was like a white dog that fell off a cliff, from the sky to the forest, hanging on a thick old locust tree, startling a single bird.
He struggled and fell from a tree to the ground, his face covered in dust and his clothes in tatters.
Jiang Xiaobai got up and patted the dirt on his body, and walked towards the official road, fortunately, it was not far from Cangzhou City, Jiang Xiaobai did not use the magic power of "shrinking the ground into inches", but walked slowly towards the city gate.
But at the gate, two soldiers stood weakly at the gate, and the other two had built a shed outside the gate, drinking in boredom.
Jiang Xiaobai walked over with his hands behind his back, and the soldier guarding the door glanced at him and waved his hand in disgust.
Jiang Xiaobai walked into the city gate, suddenly had an idea, retreated again, stared at the soldier on the left, and looked up and down, until the soldier was a little hairy.
"Hey, can't you leave, what are you staring at? Believe it or not, beat you. Soldier A.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at Soldier B on the right and Soldier C and Soldier D who were drinking in the shed, and finally said to Soldier A: "Don't you check the identities of the people who came and went into the city?" Who is responsible for infiltrating the spies, can you afford it? ”
The soldier was stunned, where did Nima come from, let's find trouble!
was about to have a seizure, but saw Jiang Xiaobai turn around, stared at the soldier Bingding who was drinking, and shouted angrily: "And you, who allowed you to drink while on duty?" ”
I rub!
The four people at the city gate were stunned for a moment, and they didn't react for a while.
Jiang Xiaobai looked up at the sky for a moment, and suddenly softened his tone and said: "Actually, I can understand that you have all worked this hot day, but you must have the appearance of being a soldier." ”
After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms, stuffed it into the soldier's hand, tidied up the soldier's clothes, and said, "It's hard work, take the brothers to have a good meal when you change the duty." ”
The soldier's eyes widened, and he was a little confused for a while, but the low-level soldier, who was this kind of goods that went to work and fished, was naturally exquisite, and seemed to understand something in an instant.
I'm afraid not, I met a superior who paid a private visit to Weifu, and for a while, the soldier Bingding, who was drinking in the shed, also instantly tidied up his clothes and stood in front of the city gate, only promised.
"Remember, in the future, all the people who enter the city will need to strictly check their identities, and now, the north side is uneasy and careless." Jiang Xiaobai is colorful.
"Yes, yes, my lord, we don't dare." Soldier A, B, C, and D only promised.
"Alright, you guys should be on duty!" Jiang Xiaobai said, walked towards the city with his hands behind his back, but only took two steps, and pretended to be careless: "By the way, if there is a very good-looking woman with a sword entering the city, you must stop her, ask me, you will point her in the wrong direction, that is my mother-in-law, I was arrested for visiting the Qinglou two days ago, you know ......"
"Understood, understood, adults walk slowly......" Soldier A showed an expression that even a man understands.
Jiang Xiaobai walked into the city and secretly showed a wise smile, let you Li Lao Liu be smart for a lifetime, after all, you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water.
Outside the city gates, four soldiers stared widely.
"Who is this, which adult, I haven't seen it!"
"How do I know, whatever, he is generous, one hundred taels is enough to buy two houses in Cangzhou City."
"Well, I'm afraid it's not, it's also a corrupt official, don't worry about him, Cuiyan Lou at night, relax and relax......"
Talking like this, these four people did not touch the fish, but began to be on duty seriously, and carefully checked the identities of the people who entered the city.
Outside Cangzhou.
Seeing this scene, Li Furong frowned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly rose up with the sword, rushed into the sky, and entered from the sky above the city gate.
Jiang Xiaobai entered the city at this moment, but he didn't know that he was smart but was mistaken by being smart, and Li Furong didn't go to the city gate at all.
He is immersed in the prosperity of Cangzhou City at the moment, but he sees that in this city, there are red walls and green tiles, bluestone streets paved with blue bricks, surrounded by wine shops, all kinds of shops lined up one after another, and all kinds of cries are endless.
Jiang Xiaobai was the best at enjoying life in his previous life, and this life was no exception, he had endless silver tickets given by his senior sister in his pocket, and he consciously walked with a straight waist.
He first went to the tailor shop to buy a clean green shirt, changed it and walked around the city, and finally came to the largest inn in Cangzhou City-Yunlai Inn.
But when he saw Jiang Xiaobai walking into the Yunlai Inn, he slapped a fifty taels of silver ticket on the counter with the face of an upstart, startling the drowsy shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper, open a presidential suite, it's not bad for money!" Jiang Xiaobai said.
Forehead?
The shopkeeper was a little stunned, but the moment he saw the silver ticket, he smiled, quietly put the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said: "The guest officer wants a first-class room, the Tianzi No. C room is still empty, I don't know how many days the guest officer will live?" ”
"Hold on to my money, by the way, prepare a table of good dishes for me, what bear's paw shark fin, lobster, according to the highest specifications, and, I want a jar of old wine, hurry up, I want to sleep after eating." Jiang Xiaobai commanded.
The shopkeeper's face fell, and he stopped talking.
Jiang Xiaobai was displeased, glared at the shopkeeper and said, "What's the matter, there's a problem?" ”
The shopkeeper looked Jiang Xiaobai up and down, but saw that he was dressed in a green shirt and behaved ...... behaves like a nouveau riche, not like a liar, but in recent years, there have been more people pretending to be big people to cheat and eat and drink, but if this is really a high roller, wouldn't it also offend the distinguished customer.
Jiang Xiaobai saw him hesitate for a long time and said, "What's the situation?" Grinding and chirping. ”
The shopkeeper immediately showed a sincere smile, and said after considering the language: "Let the distinguished guests know that your fifty taels of silver tickets, I'm afraid you can't arrange them?" ”
I rub!
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, Nima, did I have any misunderstanding about the fifty taels of silver tickets?
He took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels from his bosom again, and said, "You shopkeeper, you don't have the eyesight to see, do I look like the kind of person who can't pay?" What floor is room C on? ”
"Third floor, third floor. The cloister is. The shopkeeper immediately laughed.
Jiang Xiaobai turned around and went upstairs.
At this moment, Li Furong, who entered the city, found a place where no one was around, put the long sword behind her, and began to look for Jiang Xiaobai's figure in the vast sea of people.
However, Cangzhou City is so big, there are only a few streets in the east, west, north and south, and there are many residential buildings, to find Jiang Xiaobai in this flow of people, it is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
She walked around for a long time, thinking that this was not a solution, she had to find someone to ask, and as soon as she looked up, she happened to see the Yunlai Inn in front of her.
